PREPARING AMMUNITION, ) AGE'S supporters evidently believe that if he { can get 2 renomination he will be able to J make his campaign without having to explain bis relations to the frauds committed at San Quentin. They note that the Examiner publishes little or noth- ing of the evidence given in court, that it either mini- wmizes or ignores altogether every particle of testi- mony showing that Gage was a beneficiary of the vio- lations of the law, and they fondly believe that the | same course will be pursued by that journal to the end of the canvass. in basing hopes upon that belief they are preparing themselves for a great disappointment. The Exam- i iner does not publish the testimony, but it is not ig- poriag it by any means. A full shorthand report of @l the evidence is being taken down for that paper ewery day and is being filed away ready for use. The seliow organ is not going to that expense for noth- ing. Evidently it expects some day to publish the testimony it is now so carefully excluding from its | eolumns—and it is not going to publish it for the | benefit of the Republican party. . A full shorthand report of all the testimony in the gase before Judge Fritz is not the only ammunition | the Examiner is storing up for use when once the | fight begins. It has noted Gage's allianee with Dan THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THE PROOFS. ONTINUING in the second stage of the proofs offered by SATURDAY, the defendants in the case of the People against the proprietor and the manager of The Call, . on a charge of libeling Governor Gage, revelations of the most startling nature appear in the testimony of unwilling witnesses. It is now established that the furniture shop was called “the Warden’s shop. It was an auxiliary to the carpenter shop. The foreman admitted under oath that twenty-two convicts are employed in the . e carpenter shop. Asked if they make furniture, he answered “yes. He swore that they make “bedsteads, dressers and things like that,” and that he had seen made bedsteads, “four or five,” and among them one of solid" mahogany carved with the letter “G,” made on the order of Shipping Clerk McDougall, a cousin of the Governor by marriage, and formerly an employe on his ranch in Los Angeles. The foreman then admitted under oath the manufacture there by convict labor of bedsteads, hookcases, chiffoniers, dressers, dining-room chairs, frames for easy chairs, center- tables, settees, couches and inlaid and extension tables. He denies knowledge of who got these articles of luxury, and supposed they were paid for by the recipient, the lumber being paid for by the State. Confronted by the books and accounts he admitted that they did not show any payment for the lumber or the articles by those who received -the manufactv.}red furni- ture. In this connection he admitted that he did not keep the book, but that it was kept by a convict bookkeeper. When this foreman’s attention was called to the record of the purchase of large amounts of fine wood, and the lack of any record of what was done with it, he answered, “Well, we build houses at San Quentin.” Asked if they were built of hardwood, ebony, mahogany, ash and maple, he made no reply. Examined further he was confronted with the entry in the convict kept book of “material for Warden’s shop,” and declared that he did not know what- it meant, and.did not know the character of work done in that shop. He admitted the manufacture of a dozen tables for a saloon- keeper in the town of San Quentin. A clerk in the store of Strauss & Co. identified a bill of goods, charged to and paid for by the State, as having been purchased by the wife of Joseph Aguirre in company with the wife of the Governor. These goods were not 'such as are used for prison pur- poses. The frequent and prolonged sojourns of the Governor and his family at the prison were admitted by Joseph Aguirre. It will be remembered that The Call charged that the illegal manufacture of fur- niture was carried on at the prison, and that even if the articles produced were bought and paid for by private parties, the production, sale and accounting for of this property were illegal, and even those who purchased it were the beneficiaries of an illegal traffic and the abettors of violation of the law. We charged the purchase of articles not for prison use, to be paid for by the State, and that the bills for such purchases were forged in the prison so- as to cover articles which, if purchased, wouldhave been1egal supplies for the prison. Let it be remembered that all these facts are now established in court, by the evidence of unwilling witnesses, friends of the Governor, enjoying his official and per- | sonal favor, and holding lucrative positions at his instance. What these unwilling wit- nesses have admitted under oath will now be enlarged and explained and projected further into this stage of the case, by documentary evidence and further oral testimony. We have established and proved illegal purchase, forgery of bills and accounts, unlawful in- dustry on a large scale,in the convict manufacture of sumptuous articles of luxury, and of ordinary use, like round tables for a country saloon. We have connected the Governor as a beneficiary of these acts, defiant and disobedient of the law of the State of Califor- nia, and that beneficial relation will further appear in what is to follow. On the proofs as they stand, mostly wrung from rebellious and unwilling wit- L%eps and.with Martin Kelly, and it has published just enough zbout the facts to furnish a foundation | far columns and pages of display upon the subject | later on. It has furthermore noted that Gage, while ; posing as a friend of union labor, has gone so far as ‘} #9 wiolate the law in his eagerness to get prison- miade furniture for his house and prison-made harness for his horses. Finally, it has taken due account of | ihe act of the Governor in employing a Chinese con- witt instead of white labor to do the cooking on his ranch. Thus the yellow organ has carefully provided st#eif with all the ammunition which the enterprise of | e Call has brought to light; but while The Call | published the facts in the interests of public wel- | and to save the Republican party from the possi- bil'ly of nominating an unfit candidate, the Examiner will use it for its own purposes and to procure the election of a tool of its own to the governorship. Vhether the Examiner will support Gage in the coming campeign is'as yet a matter of doubt in the office of that paper itself. That depends not only on what the Republican convention does, but what the Democratic convention does. * Should the combined bosses succeed - in ‘procuring the -renomination of Gage, and the Democrats, profiting’ by the oppor- tusity, nominate an honest and strong candidate, the Examiner would support Gage.. That is why it is mow suppressing the Gage record -and making - but slight dllusions to the ‘scandals at San Quentin and | Glen Ellen, and referring but gingerly to Gage’s re- latieris to Dan” Burns ‘and” Martin Kelly and Mah Noon. Ij, however, the Democrats can be bullied into nominating a yellow candidate, the Examiner will turn loose its broadsides.and will fill the cam- | paign with yellow versions of the Gage record. That is why it is getting 2 shorthand report of the testi- mory. 4z g4 @ Ve note these things in order that thg tn!fllg now fondly hoping the Examiner is going to d in with Gage, win or lose, may be saved from iat seli-deception. The yellow organ is missing no point of the testimony that is exposing Gage’s con- négtion with the violations of the law. It has all of it on file along with the deals with Burns, the confer- “amees with Kelly and the dinners with Mah Noon. So much for that point. There remains to be noted the fact that even should the Examiner leave unpub- lished the evidence of Gage's scandalous administra- 1#0n it would none the less occupy the foremost place it the campaign should he be renominated. The vegord_is already known to the intelligence of the State. If no further word were uttered about it by ghe press or by stump orators the voters would not e deceived by the silence. They: have noted Gage’s from the time when after declaring himself free from affiliations with the Southern Pacific Railroad: Ie 2t once set to work trying first to cajole ak afterward to bulldoze a Republican Legislature 10 electing Dan Burns to the United States Senate. e then they have followed his administration on fortuous course. They have watched the surren- lof the Normal Schools to predatory bosses, the wersion of the Home for Feeble-Minded Children « & part of the spoils of politics to provide a place £ & notorious and unfit job-hunter. They have'seen, « interests of all classes of the people subordinated: « the greed of bosses and their henchmen, and. now 4y have learned from The Call of the gross offenses spmitted gt San Quentin, So they know the rec- wid and it will matter little whether more be said @ ut it or pot when the canvass begins. Just the same the Examiner has the testimony in #igthand. 1t is prepared for emergencies | nesses, we again ask the Republican.party of California if it propose to permit a con- | vention, called under its seal and commissioned by its authority, to renominate Gover- nor Gage and thereby pass this case up to the people for decision, on these and the! proofs to come? We desire to remind the party that if it permit this it goes on trial with the Governor and his San Quentin and Glen Elien records, and the people must condemn it to condemn him and these records. Is the party prepared to put itself in the dock with the Governor and make these records its own? 2 We state this with great gravity, impressed by the importance of the choice that is to be made in the name of the party. Do the press and the orators of the party wish to go before the people asking that they believe houses are built of ebony, rosewood, mahogany and quartered oak at San Queéntin for the use of the State? Do they desire to pack through the canvass a score of shipments to the Governor’s home of convict-made furniture, and to wheel the party to the polls on the convict-made, solid mahogany bed- stead, engraved with the letter “G”? Do they wish to enter the political fight, expound- ing the party platform from the tops of a dozen saloon tables, illegally manufactured of State material by convict labor? If they do, the choice is. theirs. It is boasted that the bosses and the machine will, by intrigue and indirection, control the convention against the wish of the party to be delivered from their grasp. Of | course that is possible, but it is not probable, if the party voice is decisive. | are crying the soothing song that The Call and Chronicle and nearly all the leading Re- publican papers of the State are not popular, and that charges made by them do not impress the people, among whom there is a spirit of reaction against the influence of | the press. But let it be remembered that the case against Governor Gage no longer rests upon charges. It has no further relation to any personal animus, but exists now indel- ibly in the proofs furnished in the unwilling testimony given in a judicial court, by wit- nesses who are the creatures of his favor, the members of his political and official fam- ily, his companions and constant familiars. That is the case that must be met. Study it in the proofs so furnished, and let any man say, if he think, that the Republican party can win by pleading to such an indict- ment as particeps criminis, as accessory after the fact, and sending its case up to the people for judgment. exhibit of products in the grand nave of the ferry depot, is desirous of making the same per- manent. The Harbor Commissioners are not indif- ferent to the use of the exhibit as an ornament to that large and fine apartment, and it is believed that they may desire its rearrangement so as to be non- obstructive to the public use of the room, and its permanent location there, auxiliary to the State Board of Trade museum -on the floor above. The exhibit in the nave was visited by tens of thousands of people during the stay of the Pythians. All ferry passengers coming and going on the upper decks of the boats were instructed and charmed by it, and there is no doubt that if made permanent and Tenewed at the proper seasons it will be a most useful factor in attracling’atte.mion to the great resources of the State and-a proof of their marvelous variety. The expense of maintaining it as an auxiliary of the ‘State Board of Trade museum will not be large. The counties affiliated will find it an inexpensive ‘way of imparting information of their resources and a first-class means to distribute - their explanatory literature. ‘Thanks to our many and voluminous ex- hibits in the East at-the great expositions California is now more ‘in the public eye and thought and pur- ‘pose than ever.. We are' now receiving more acces- sions to our population than ever before for many years, and the tide of immigration that sets this way may easily- be swelled to such proportions as to en- rich the State beyond all dreams with the energy and experience of the denser populations of the East.

The whole tide of travel runs through the ferry depot. It is the point to which all converge. It will be hard to imagine 2 more useful purpose to which its spare space may be put than to shelter a splendid and permanent illustration of the resources and indus- tries of the State. ——— British statesmen fear that the Boers are secretly planning to renew the war from which they retired by stipulation and with world-wide glory. It is not improbable, judging from the splendid reception given to the Boer generals in. England, that many English recruits might be obtained for the cause of the intrepid patriots of the South African republics. —_— 3 King Edward has always been a fairly good shot, but never much of a fisherman, and now by way of a change it is said he has been advised to take a fishing trip for rest and recuperation.

The same trouble would occur in many other cases. PERIODICALS—H. A. R, Middletown, Cal.. There have been a number of decis- lons that if a party to whom 4 period- ical is sent continues to receive it after the subscription has lapsed such party is responsible ‘for the payment of the next subscription.

The American advance, he says, is more ap- parent in sclentific and tcehnical books and works dealing with mining, engineer- ing, architecture, industries and trades ‘and, to a certain extent, in American fic- tion. Also Australian firms are seeking to appoint agents in New York to select and forward these publications as they ap- pear. Again, the British Consul General at Frankfort, I read, has declared that the British system of net prices inter- feres with the sale of British books in Germany, a sale which, he says, has been steadily advancing. He asks the question whether English publishers might not graat a rebate upon orders from nbru}lid- Herbert Compton, the author of “The Inimitable Mrs. Massingham,” will be rep- reseated by two books this season. One is a new novel which he has just finished and is called “An Uncrowned Queen. The other book is a book of sketches, to a great extent written round the author's experiences as a tea planter in India. Thirsting for new worlds to conquer, Mrs. Archibald Little, who has written several books on China, is starting short- ly on a journey in:the Far East, by way of Russia and the Trans-Siberian Rail- way. Mrs. Little’s husband has been en- gaged in various important commercial enterprises in China for over forty years. Among the many interests the authoress has in the Celestial empire is the society called Tien-Tsu-Hui, of which she is the secretary,..and which has for its object the abolition of foot binding, common among Chinese women. Bennét Burleigh, well known war corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph, thinks of writing. rather a:.long book :on the South African war, from which hé re- turned only the other day.

A. Leishman, as- suring him that all the pending claims of the United States would be complied with and begging the Minister to resume his visits to the Porte. In consequence of these fresh assur- ance, Leishman to-day visited the Grand Vizier, Said Pasha, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tewflk Pasha. Leish- man and Robert §. MecCormick, the United States Embassador to Austria- Hungary, will attend the selamlik to- morrow and will probably have an audi- ence with the Sultan. WASHINGTON, Aug, 22—The State Department has received a dispateh from Minister Leishman at Constantinople, saying that amicable relations have been re-established between the legation and the Porte. The Sultan has directed that a portion of the agreement reached between Min- ister Leishman and the Secretary of For- eign Affairs be carried out. This agree- ment was annulled by the Grand Vizier. Minister Leishman has resumed negotia- tions with the Secretary of Foreign Af- fairs upon subjects that had not been settled when the intercourse between the Minister and Secretary ceased.

The Register was one of the first pa< pers in the interior to come out against Gage and we have persistently stuck to that position.. We believe that his nom- indtion would result in the defeat, not alone of Gage himself, but of the whole State ticket. No man as cold-hearted as Gage can keep friends. No man so unmindful of past favors can retain his following. No man with so much to smirch his gar- ments can safely be placed at the head of Republican ticket in this State. half the things the San Francisco Call has published about Gage are true, he deserves a place in one of our State institutions. Let us hope for the good name of our State and the good name of the Governor himself that these things are untrue. They, however, hang over him and until they are proven false will carry much weight with the people.—Oro- ville Register. Gage Should Talk Less.
